David,
I saw your sample and I can see you created the lines with Shift+F6 instead of using Ctrl+F2.
See the same example  (less pretty) , but using Ctrl+F2. If you move around the boxes with Firewall (for instance), the line will follow as soon as you let the box go.
Was this what you wanted to do?

attached is a sample .svg file.

what I am trying to do is to grab the two networks in the bottom right and
slide them up to close the large blank space between them and the network
above them.

If I select the networks and text and then try to move them, the line
segments do not move.

I don't see what ctrl+f2 is going to do with this.
